bill clinton was a big get, even bigger than jennifer lopez. they didn't want to spring for obama, but they got a pretty good guy. he requires a lot of perks in the dressing room, i can only imagine. >> michael. >> he's a total professional. he was barely looking at the prompter. he knew his lines. he was much better than the inebriated people, like the guy pretending to be high and said lisa dunham instead of lena dunham. >> the worst was salma hayek, her prompter went down. she and the actor with her, paul rudd, they totally forgot what they were going to do. really? >> i think there may have been a technical glitch. maybe she's trying out to be the new charo or something. i have no idea. i loved tina fey and amy poehler. i thought they were hilarious. i wanted to take them home with me. they punctured through all the solemnity and all the speeches about my wonderful journey, picking out the four losers and saying, aren't they terrific? they went through all the solemnity and attitude with hi lart and mockery. if seth macfarlane is even half

clinton strolled on stage to introduce the movie "lincoln." >> a tough fight to push a bill through a bitterly divided house of representatives. winning it required the president to make a lot of unsavory deals that had nothing to do with the big issue. i wouldn't know anything about that. >> people are still parsing today, the famously private jodie foster's acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award. >> i have given everything up there from the time that i was 3 years old. that's reality show enough, don't you think? >> but would you like to know the highlight of my night? it was getting to meet and interview 26, 26, quickly going on 27, lena dunham who won best tv actress and comedy for one of my favorite shows on right now, "girls" on hbo. so watch this. >> i just wanted to start, sorry, i'm super shaky. i wanted to start by saying the other nominees in this category are women that inspire me deeply and have made me laugh and comforted me at the darkest moments of my life. julia, tina, amy and zoe respectively have gotten me through middle school. and i worship them. >>
